Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor aren't exactly friends at their small high school on the middle-of-nowhere colony world of Meridian. Each has their own problems, from absent parents to supporting their family, getting into a good college to making the next hit holo-film. But those problems were nothing next to the threat now facing their world: The alien alliance known as the Covenant is laying siege to Meridian. With their village in flames, the four teens find themselves stuck aboveground, locked out of the town shelter where the rest of the survivors are gathered.

But though the fighting's stopped, the war is far from over: it's just gone underground.

In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct and the half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind, but the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms.

Publisher's Summary

An original novella set in the Halo Universe and based on the New York Times best-selling video game series!

Find. Claim. Profit.

In a postwar galaxy littered with scrap, it's the salvager's motto. And with a fast ship and a lust for adventure, Rion Forge has certainly made her mark on the trade. When the discovery of a wrecked UNSC cruiser brings Rion's past back to haunt her, stirring fresh hope into a decades-old wound, she's hell-bent on finding answers: What really happened to her father and his ship, the Spirit of Fire? This novella also contains the complete text of Kelly Gay's short story "Into the Fire", originally featured in the collection Halo: Fractures.

More Scott Brick....

title says it all. I am really not a fan of Scott Brick's performance, all his characters sound the same. He is nowhere close to the worst, but I wish these halo books would branch out to other narrators again.

A damn good Gap filler

short and sweet I just want to say that this book not only explained a lot of missing things with both Halo Wars and with the newer Halo series with four and five but it connected the two finally and further got me hyped for a future title that my return to a Halo game with more of a Halo feel and that is ultimately what everybody wants whether they know it or not. Thanks Audible and thank you to everyone else that helped make this happen!

Halo

I really liked this book and if you were a big fan of the short story of halo wars you’ll love this as you find out our beloved Srgt Forge has a daughter and you hear about her trauma of losing him and her chase to find him. This book started off good and wasn’t hard to read at all I loved it, I only wish it was long and you could no what happens after the ending. But this was 100% worth the 11 bucks. #LongLiveForge

great story for all halo fans

it's short but very sweet and will leave you wanting more .This is great but I feel it would be better if own a few halo books before you get this to get what's going on and why. it links up with a few things from other story's. otherwise worth the time.
